This would annoy me too, I'm not well handling clingly people...but I have done it before. It sounds like you're working in a big place where it can be intimidating for new people to find their way around (been there, done that, and have had my fair share of clingy newbies who follow you until they find their own friends). Most likely he'll get less annoying once he gets to know people in a different team.

He's been here for ages though! Of course it is partly my fault for facilitating the whole thing. The more I think about it now, the more annoyed I become. Sometimes I just want to be alone! :mad: Especially since I am dealing with people all day - its nice to just have down time where you don't have to interact.

Hangnails or rather that little bit left of it after you've got most of the bugger off.

Even typos in the subtitles on TV drive me mad.

I sourced a dodgy copy of a film recently on which a non-native english speaker had taken it upon himself to put on his own subtitles. He had so much wrong that I ended up spending more time distracted by this than watching the actual film. It did have the phrase 'Bob's your uncle' transcribed as 'Boss your ankle' though which I thought was hilarious.

Having acute lazyba$tarditis. I should be using my week off productively but the only thing I've committed myself to is binge watching netflix and eating like a wh0re.

Finding out that someone I know who was off "sick" for two weeks was not sick, and used a fake cert

I have realised one of my trivial annoyances is
Typos. Even typos in the subtitles on TV drive me mad. ( I am currently waiting for an appointment so spotting the typos on Ireland Am to pass the time)

How many of us intently searched this post for typos?

I seem to be a designated Mr fix it. When ever I visit people's homes of late I get handed a machine our device of some sort and asked to have a wee like look at it to see if I can fix it.
Feeling used, but useful!

I went to see my mother on Monday as she'd just come back from a month in America.
I then had to go to buy her a new car battery and install it!!

It was worth it though for the lovely foaming hand soap I got as a present!

Went for a job interview yesterday.

A lot of positives from it, and I think I stand a good chance.

They told me that they would likely make a decision yesterday and that I'd hear by the end of the week.

I wish I didn't know that they probably made a decision yesterday, because knowing that the decision's likely been made, I'm all 'JUST TELL ME NOW', and every time an email gets in, I get a little excited hoping that it's them.

The OH's mother commenting on my Facebook posts in a different language and me trying gingerly to reply without making a balls of her language and mistakenly saying, "I f*cked your cat" instead of "that cake looks nice"

Thanks, trying very hard

As well as the fact that I'm very enthusiastic about it and feel it's right for me, I'm self employed so it'll be a major change, and I also want to know in terms of planning further self-employed work... but obsessing over it isn't gonna make me hear any quicker... so think I need to try to pull back from it lol

If it's not that big, the best piece of advice I can give you is to keep that area as dry as you can, make sure there are no loose hairs getting stuck there and try not sit/stand too wide apart if you know what I mean.
That can make it open wider and make it more sore and raw.

kebab anyone?:eek:

Light bulbs.

Needed some for the living room so thought I would get some of the LED ones, have seen them for about 7 euro in the shops. It wasnt as easy as I was expecting.
We have one of those things that require 3 bulbs and has a dimmer switch. Turns out the LED lights which are suitable for dimmers are around 20 each, not too bad if you just want the one, when you need 3 for 1 room it becomes more of a problem.
Then theres choosing the shape and brightness.

The dimmable ones can be got a lot cheaper online. I won't put the sitename I used here but it is an Irish one with led in the title!
I recently moved every bulb in the house to led. It is worth the effort and cost.

It's all down to how your impure mind processes what these things. Seeing sin where there is none!

Inputting your password wrong because you've forgot what letters were upper or lower case.

A co-worker has gone on a Excel course and learned a few bits and pieces. Great for me - I'm the resident office IT guru who gets landed with helping out people with stuff they don't know about.

Unfortunately she now knows how to use the zoom feature. Any spreadsheet she has been at is now set at anywhere from 150% to 200% zoom when I open it - jesus it's a repeated assault on the eyes!

Away for work for a couple of days and just realised I've forgotten my winter hat ;(

Medusa22 · 28-10-2015 02:01PM

The wifi isn't working so I am forced to browse boards on my phone and I can't watch netflix or the tv either (we have eir - evision so the tv works off the internet). I was just on the phone to eir today to cancel sky movies and just after I hung up the internet stopped working so now I have to ring them again, grumble.

OldNotWIse · 28-10-2015 02:06PM

This person I know who has just started in a course that I have almost finished (the annoying clingy one) is off buying a textbook that he doesn't need for like 200 quid. What a waste of money. I told him he will never use it but he clearly has more money than sense. It really annoys me when people rush out and buy all the books on the booklist and then don't use them. Plus, there are copies in the library! Eurgh
